moose,
This may or may not help you. I built a dump bed last year for my truck. I found some sketches online and went from there. I got the pump and cylinder on e-bay cheaper than what the other compaines sell them for. You can take the idea as you like and modify it to your needs, but to me it would be the same basic structure. Take the link.

Are you still looking for plans. I purchased a set of plans off ebay to build dumping pickup truck bed, but the mechanics would be the same for a trailer, you'd just have to adjust some measurements for you app. Here's a link to the website from which my plans actual come from.http://www.dumpbeds.com/Index.html
Let me know if you want a copy, and I'll photocopy a set and mail them to you.
Jeff.

Hey Chuck and Slag. PM me with your details and I'll send you a set. I can email it to you in PDF if you'd like, but it's 3.37 MB, so make sure you email server will allow it.
Is a nice setup. It gives detail to build all the parts with the exception of the hydrolics (sp?). Give it a read, I think you'll like it.

I'll give it a shot, however, it's not usually the speed of the connection, it's the email account itself. Most internet providers limit the size of file your allowed to download of upload-meaning, I might not be allowed to send something of this size (but I'm pretty sure I can as I send and receive AutoCAD drawings all the time).
